Appointment of Acting Chief Justice was not to facilitate me - Malahoo Forte

Attorney General Marlene Malahoo Forte says there is no truth to claims that the appointment of Bryan Sykes to act as Chief Justice was to facilitate her ascension to the job.

There was speculation that Malahoo Forte was being considered for the post.

But speaking on TVJ’s All Angles last night, Malahoo Forte said she was not considered for the post nor does she have an interest in the job at this time.

She said speculation about her intentions are unfounded and are being used to drive misinformation.

According to the Attorney General, if she was in the judiciary and the relevant authorities considered her to be a good choice, then she would aspire to the office of the Chief Justice.IN PHOTO: Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Acting Chief Justice Bryan Sykes

However, she said she's happy serving in the Parliament and the Cabinet.
